He's chasing elk with it right now, I haven't heard anything on how he is doing yet.

I've seen a few Brownings but no Winchesters either. But I have seen quite a bit of ammo for it sitting on shelves gathering dust since not that many have a rifle for it yet. I have a friend in Utah who picked one up along with all the ammo that he needs for a while since he isn't a reloader.

The thing that makes the 6.8 Western is the rate of twist of the rifling enabling it to stabilize those longer bullets which will have a higher BC for better accuracy at longer ranges.

Can't help you with hiking in it but hunting elk in November you shouldn't be too worried about scent. Especially during a rifle hunt where your shots are going to mostly be 100 yards + If you are worried about hiking in it put it on and go for a long walk and see how it feels.

I never did use any shooting sticks. My dad taught me how to shoot in all the common positions. Sitting, kneeling, and standing. He left out the prone just because where he hunted most of the time you would never get a shot from the prone position. He also taught me the value of a military...

One thing that people can use to help steady their shots at a target if nothing proper is around and they are traveling is a rolled up sleeping bag, pillows, coats, backpack, or even a soft sided suit case. All will help to rest the rifle on.
